Erection failure as a sequela to obstructive urolithiasis in a male goat

Abstract

• Celiotomy followed by insertion of a Foley catheter into the urinary bladder is an effective surgical treatment of obstructive urolithiasis in small ruminants. • Contrast radiography of the corpus cavernosum penis is valuable in the diagnosis of erection failure. • Vascular occlusion of the corpus cavernosum penis, and subsequent erection failure, may develop secondary to obstructive urolithiasis in bucks.
